Liked Lovely atmosphere on this site. Peaceful, spacious, proper facilities for real campers (nothing posh but all good). Love the gas powered showers and the sheltered cooking area can be a real bonus.

What customers say
This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere, located a short walk from the beach. Guests praised the friendly owners, the convenience of the outdoor showers, and the rustic cabin accommodation. Basic but clean toilet facilities are provided. While some found the site a little basic for the price and noted the lack of bins or roof on showers, many appreciated the close-to-nature experience and the opportunity to choose their own pitch. The site is ideal for those seeking tranquility.

Schöner Platz mit viel Raum für die Stellplätze
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Großes Feld mit reichlich Platz für die Stellplätze, es gibt Toiletten und sogar Duschen, hätten wir gar nicht erwartet. Netter Spaziergang zum nahegelegenen Strand, auch problemlos mit dem Hund zu laufen. Wer Ruhe und Entschleunigung sucht, ist hier absolut richtig - gleichzeitig ist die Stadt in kurzer Distanz erreichbar!
Disliked Nix!

Peaceful stay
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious field with great open-top showers and a fantastic location. We loved the peaceful surroundings and the scenic coastal path walk into Aberystwyth, which took around an hour. A perfect spot for a quiet getaway with beautiful views and easy access to town.

Simple with clean toilets and a fab beach trail
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely spacious field flat and the deive in was hard gravel. Toilet and shower block nice and clean with a washinf up station. No hit water tap but a gas burner and pots available to heat water up to wash up.
Biggest bonus was the orange flag trail through the fields down to the beach. Lovely 20 mins strole. Rocky beach with a few arcades and a bar.
Disliked Nothing really. There is no rubbish bins as stated on pitch up which can be a little annoying but as we was on motorbikes they did offer for us to leave our bag of rubbish but as they took a while to answer we had to strap it on the bike till we found a bin
